PERFECTS A PATENT
Eastern Capitalists Purchase Patent
lu Con n! demticn of Substantial
Jtoyalty Hedliehl Talks
at Portland
E. E. Redfiled, a Southern Oregon
capitalist, Is In Portland, on his re
turn from Massachusetts, where he
disposed of an invention to prominent
gun manufacturers on a royalty that
already nets him $1000 a month,
says the Evening Telegram. The in
vention makes the breech-loading
rifle work with more direct 'action
than formerly, and his royalty Is at
the rate of 25 cents on each gun hav
ing the new improvement. Mr. Red
field's home Is at Glendale, lu Dong
las county, whero he worked on the
Invention while pursuing his occupa
tion as a jeweler and watch-maker.
"I had been told that the Inventor
himself made no money out of the
improvements ho had conceived, but
I was determined that this should
not be true in my case," said Mr. Red
field. "1 had some difficulty lit1 getting
the royalty I demanded, as the agents
of the big gun factories tried to con
vince nie the Improvement was of
little account, and offered nie, a pit
iful 3ii in for It oitright. However
I camped right with them and worked
on the olllcers of the corporation for
three months before I succeeded in
getting them to accede to my terms.
Now they are getting out 40.00 rifles
a month, and 1 draw 25 cents on
each of them."
Mr. Redfield has been a successful
speculator in Portland property with
in the last few years. He now owns
the Auditorium building, on Third
street, adjoining Taylor street Metho
dist church.

Petition Governor
(Special to The Evening Nev.s )
EL. PASO, Doc. 6. Americans at
NoKales are preparing a petition to
tho governor of Solium in which it Is
requested that a regiment from the
regular army be sent to tho Tlhuran
Island in the Gulf of California to
rescue a party of eight Americans
and fifty Mexican Soldiers, who. It is
believed have been captured by can
nibals. These ferocious natives are
the same lot who killed Prof: Thomns
Grindell several years ago, at which
time tho professor was leading an
exploring party to their Islands In the
interest of scientific research. 'These
Vannlbals are a remanent of the tierl
Indian renegades who were formerly
driven from the mainland. The pres
ent expedition, concerning which
grave apprehension is felt, left 131b
boe, Mexico, over a month ago and
carried provisions for only 20 days,
and went with the expectation of dis
covering rich mlnes. Since the weath
er has been almost a calm it Is deem
ed that there Is no possible chance for
the party to have perished in a storm,
therefore the only logical conclusion
Is that the cannibal have captured
tho men.
